Shocking Harem Road: The Legend of Concubine Yi

Chapter 177 Suicide in fear of sin
On February [-]th, a bad news shocked the palace: Jieyu Lin Yuhan was poisoned to death!

When Ming Xuanyu arrived at Jingren Palace where Lin Yuhan lived, she had already closed her eyes in Xinyi's arms, and he only saw a cup of tea that was spilled on the table.

Lin Yuhan's lips turned blue, and even his fingernails turned blue, which was obviously a symptom of poisoning!
He hugged Lin Yuhan on the bed, asked Xinyi what was going on, and then said to Zhang De, "Interrogate everyone in Jingren Palace, and the poisoner must be among them."

He looked at Xinyi without saying a word, but he seemed to have some guesses about the truth in his heart.

However, when Zhang De sent someone to interrogate, a maid from Jingren Palace was also poisoned and died, and the poison was found in her residence.

Now, from the looks of it, the case no longer needs to be tried again. The palace lady poisoned her and committed suicide in fear of crime.This is the conclusion!

But why kill Lin Yuhan?When did she forge such an enmity with others?

At night, Ming Xuanyu stayed in Yongning Palace, Xinyi was overwhelmed with grief, and fell asleep after taking some medicine, but he still couldn't fall asleep.

Perhaps, the murderer's target is not Lin Yuhan, but Xinyi.As for the court lady, I'm afraid she was just framed.In this way, there will be no clues to the real culprit.

If it was Xinyi who was going to be killed, who would it be?

Wanting to kill her again and again, is the murderer the same person?
Antai has been arrested, and nothing unusual has been found about her.Although Gu Feiyan said that Antai might do something, why did Antai kill Xinyi?What did Xinyi do to justify her death?

No, it should not be Antai.Because she knew her situation, she knew that if she made a wrong step at this time, she would lose everything.Even if she is dissatisfied with Xinyi, she will not choose to do it now, the risk is too great.

If not Aetna, who would it be?
However, since it was a poisoning case in the palace, we should start the investigation from the palace.If the wrong person is killed, the murderer will still take action, and he will definitely be able to catch him.

Ming Xuanyu fell into deep thought.

Lin Yuhan's death soon spread to the Compassion Palace.

The Empress Dowager was throwing fish food into the pool, when the palace lady came to report, her hand suddenly stopped in the air.

Seeing this, Hong Shanggong asked the maid: "It is true that Lin Jieyu died?"

The maid said yes.

"Where is Concubine Yi?" The Empress Dowager asked.

"Concubine Yi is safe and sound!" the palace maid reported.

After Hongshang Palace sent the maid away, the Empress Dowager said: "That girl is really lucky, she can escape every time!"

"Look, servant girl, Concubine Zhen didn't succeed this time, she will definitely think about it next time, so don't worry!" Hong Shanggong said.

The Empress Dowager sighed: "If you fail again and again, that girl will never die!"

"That may not be—" Hong Shanggong wanted to comfort the Empress Dowager, but she interrupted her.

"How could the emperor fail to see such a simple trick this time? As long as he investigates, he will definitely find out Zhen Yunan. By then, it will be the end of Zhen Yunan!" The Empress Dowager said.

Hong Shanggong pondered for a while, and said: "Master, if that day really comes, the maidservant will deal with the maid of Chengqian Palace, so as not to leave future troubles!"

The Empress Dowager said: "Go to the British government quickly and tell him that within half a month, all the traitors who might help Zhuang Xinyi will be wiped out. Also, what happened in the case of exterminating the family at the beginning is all mourned." The family should check it out. Cut off all the clues, and absolutely not let the emperor check it out!"

Hong Shanggong took the order.

"By the way, Chunsheng, you can't keep it." The Empress Dowager added, but Hong Shanggong was surprised.

"No risk! As for getting rich, he doesn't have to worry about it, he'll have a sense of proportion!" The Empress Dowager said.

"Yes, this servant has written it down!" Hong Shanggong said.

"Tell him to be careful!" the Empress Dowager said.

"Yes, what about Chengqian Palace?" Hong Shanggong asked.

The empress dowager didn't seem to think at all, so she said: "Get ready to let the emperor deal with her! Zhen Yunan, but she is in the way!"

Hong Shanggong was ordered to retreat.

"Today's weather is really good!" The Empress Dowager looked up at the sky and sighed.

However, it is clearly a cloudy sky.

Concubine Zhen was furious when she heard that the dead person was Lin Yuhan, and Chen Shanggong and Yuying comforted her.Because at this juncture, you must not draw the attention of others.

Trying to calm down her anger, Concubine Zhen said: "Yes, you are right, you are right, I must not set myself on fire."

That night, news of Lin Yuhan's death also reached Princess Antai's residence.

"Is that true?" She asked Zheng Nan, and Zheng Nan nodded.

Princess Antai looked up to the sky and laughed loudly: "They really can't wait any longer!" Stop laughing, she said: "Great, my chance has come!"

"Princess, do you want to do it now?" Zheng Nan asked.

"Wu Chen, how are your preparations going?" She asked.

"The subordinates have prepared according to the princess's instructions, as long as you give the order!" Wu Chen saluted.

"For the time being, let's see what the Zhao family will do! I guess that once this happens, Lafayette will order to kill again! As long as they do something, we will expose the matter. At that time, the truth will be in front of the emperor, I think What does the old lady say!" An Tai said.

She took a look at Wu Chen and said, "Don't worry, your little princess, I will return it to you. When the big thing is settled, you can do whatever you want!"

Wu Chen was silent.

"I'm thinking, what should I show the emperor first? What is he most interested in?" Antai said to himself, "Let's take the banker's case. Next is that list, and then—"

"Your Highness, there are so many, Lafayette can't turn over, do you want anything else?" Zheng Nan said.

An Tai sneered, and said, "What's the use if she can't turn around? This time, I want the entire Zhao family. However, Zhao Mo is a big trouble! Now there is no way to involve him, and the emperor trusts Zhao so much." ink."

"Your Highness, the biggest trouble now is Lafayette. As long as we drive her out of the court, things will go much smoother in the future. You don't have to worry about it anymore!" Wu Chen said.

"That's the only way to do it!" An Tai said, "Keep an eye on the Zhao family. Besides, if Wuchen, the old lady makes a move, you have to find a way to let Gu Feiyan's people know, so we don't need to come forward."

Wuchen led the order to retreat.

After he left, Princess Antai said to Zheng Nan: "Keep an eye on him, if he dares to save Zhuang Xinyi again, he will be killed!"

"This—" Zheng Nan showed embarrassment.

Princess Antai said: "Just listen to me and do it, don't worry. This Wuchen has saved Zhuang Xinyi again and again, so there's no guarantee that he won't sell us all for that woman. Better be careful!"

Zheng Nan responded.

Let's talk about the palace.

Although Ming Xuanyu didn't tell her clearly why Lin Yuhan died, Xinyi still knew from his words that Lin Yuhan most likely died for her.She stayed in Jingren Palace all day long, and Zuo Hanqing also accompanied her. The other concubines only came to pay homage and then left.In this harem, apart from the two of them, no one really cares about Lin Yuhan anymore.

On the [-]th, Lin Yuhan's funeral, Xinyi and Zuo Hanqing sent the coffin outside the city, watched the hearse go away, but sadness surrounded them for a long time.

"I used to read books, and I didn't believe that the poisonous killings in the palace would really happen like that. But Yuhan is like this, so, alas!" Zuo Hanqing wiped his tears, "So those things are true! "

Xinyi hugged her and remained silent.

"Why do you want to do this? Why can people be so vicious? Yuhan is such a kind person, how could she be like this?" The more Zuo Hanqing spoke, the more sad she became, and she couldn't stop crying.

"The villain will definitely get his retribution in the end! Yuhan, he will never die like this for nothing!" Xinyi patted Zuo Hanqing on the back, her tone low.

Zuo Hanqing nodded with tears in her eyes.

"You two ladies, let's go back to the palace! Don't have any accidents!" Fang Daoed, Xinyi then dragged Zuo Hanqing into the sedan chair.

Ten days later, Zhang De reported that Lin Yuhan's death was related to Chengqian Palace, and he had imprisoned Chen Shanggong for release.However, Chen Shanggong took everything on his own head and did not involve Concubine Zhen at all.

Things seem to have come to a dead end here, however, on the seventh day of March, someone came to find Xinyi.

Xinyi was shocked, she did not expect that the person who came was Yuying from Chengqian Palace.

Although she didn't know why Yuying came here, Xinyi cautiously screened everyone away, and only sat down with Yuying in the back garden.

"You're here, you don't want to catch up with me!" Xinyi said.

"Sister, you are ice-snow smart, how can Yuying compare to you, how can you be qualified to reminisce about the past." Yuying said with a smile.

Xinyi didn't answer, but asked: "It's rare that you come to my place, someone asked you to send a message?"

"My sister monopolizes the sacred favor, and Yuying also wants to find a way out for herself, so here is a present for my sister!" Yuying said.

"Gift?" Xinyi said, "What kind of gift can you give me?"

Yuying leaned back and said, "My sister must have known that Lin Jieyu was poisoned by someone sent by Chen Shanggong!"

It turned out to be this matter!Xinyi quietly listened to what she had to say.

"But it's actually not the case. I wonder if my sister is interested?" Yuying asked.

"Tell me!" Xinyi said.

Yuying smiled faintly, and said, "Sister, after I say it, you have to protect me, otherwise, I'll be—"

Xinyi had known Yuying's nature for a long time, and knew that she would not confess if she did not do her any favors, so she responded, "Okay, we are sisters who entered the palace together, so I will help you of course!"

"Then I will thank my sister first!" Yuying leaned forward, "This incident was actually planned by Concubine Zhen. Her original goal was you, sister, but she killed Lin Jieyu in the end."

Indeed!Xinyi thought.

"Sister, Concubine Zhen is like fire and water with you. With her around for a day, you will have no peace, let alone be a queen. And this matter can make the emperor demote Concubine Zhen, so that she will never have a chance What if I hurt you again?" Yuying said.

Xinyi fanned her fan slowly, meditating.

"As long as sister protects me, Yuying is willing to confront Concubine Zhen in front of the emperor and Lafayette!" Yuying bowed.

Seeing that Xinyi was still silent, Yuying continued, "Sister, could it be that you let Lin Jieyu die like this?"

"Yuying, you and I both know each other's details. You and I know why you entered the palace. I also know a thing or two about how you became Concubine Zhen's personal maid. Now, you tell me this, do you think Will I believe you?" Xinyi said, "If I keep you, how can I guarantee that one day you won't betray me? How can I guarantee that you won't poison me?"

After finishing speaking, she slapped the round fan on the stone table, and Yuying was so frightened that she dared not speak.

"Yuying, you'd better tell me the truth, otherwise, I will also count you in Lin Jieyu's murder!" Xinyi said.

Lin Yuhan's unexpected death made the already confusing situation even more chaotic. However, amidst the chaos, those hidden secrets began to emerge slowly!
